CHAPTER 86: CHAPTER 86: I WANT A DIVORCE FROM HIM

——

"Mom." It was quite an effort for Song Jiajia to return to Sea City, and upon seeing Chen Jinlan at the station entrance, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

Chen Jinlan looked at the person calling her "mom." If it wasn’t for the voice being so familiar, she wouldn’t be able to recognize this person as Song Jiajia at all.

The clothes on Song Jiajia seemed like they hadn’t been washed for a long time, and they carried an unpleasant smell. Her hair was also messy.

There seemed to be some bruises on her face too.

One could say she looked very down-and-out.

Even Chen Jinlan felt very surprised.

Her loud crying drew the attention of people around the station,

and seeing her dirty appearance, it was inevitable for some disdain to show on their faces.

The person behind her, Lu Hao, wasn’t in a much better condition, with his beard grown out.

He looked quite shabby overall.

Seeing the eyes of the surrounding people focus on him, he felt extremely embarrassed.

After giving Song Jiajia a sharp glare, he turned and left.

Chen Jinlan didn’t pay attention to Lu Hao, and with a look of concern, she asked Song Jiajia, "Jiajia, what’s going on with you? Why have you ended up like this? Weren’t you going to Shenzhen to do business?"

Song Jiajia could only cry, saying nothing.

Getting no answers, Chen Jinlan took Song Jiajia to eat something.

Song Jiajia finished three bowls of noodles in one go.

Looking at her condition, Chen Jinlan didn’t dare to imagine what she had gone through.

"Jiajia, what on earth happened?"

After finishing the last bite, Song Jiajia looked at Chen Jinlan, "Mom, I want to divorce Lu Hao."

Chen Jinlan looked at Song Jiajia in shock, "What did you say? You want a divorce?"

Even though she was very unwilling for Song Jiajia to marry Lu Hao back then, since they were married, it’s definitely not right to divorce just like that.

Otherwise, how many people would gossip?

But Song Jiajia’s tone was very firm, "Yes, Mom, I want to divorce Lu Hao!"

During her days in Shenzhen, Song Jiajia finally saw Lu Hao’s true colors.

She had thought he would be impressive, able to earn money with his hands, but what happened?

From start to finish, she was the one busy, he was completely useless.,

And after the money got scammed, he didn’t think of any solutions, discovering that her clothes could be sold for money.

He went ahead and sold all her clothes cheaply.

Leaving her only with the clothes she was wearing.

The rest were sold off to have money for meals.

She originally had no intention of worrying about Lu Hao, planning to take the money sent by Chen Jinlan and buy a ticket to leave.

But Lu Hao followed her everywhere, giving her no chance.

And he kept hitting her without warning.

Yet, outside, facing a haggling lady, he dared not say a single word.

She has come to see clearly that Lu Hao is a coward, and a coward who acts tough at home.

She hates, she hates Lu Hao for ruining her life completely.

Chen Jinlan criticized bitterly, "I told you from the start Lu Hao wasn’t good, but you didn’t listen, insisting on swapping with Sang Yu, that little wretch. Now look, you’ve realized your mistake?"

"If you dare divorce, just wait for everyone to talk behind your back."

Song Jiajia held Chen Jinlan’s hand, full of regret, "Mom, I’m begging you, I must divorce!"

Chen Jinlan replied, "Wait a bit more, your father doesn’t know you’ve returned yet. The urgent matter now is to think about how to explain to him."

Thinking of Song Zhenhua made Song Jiajia tremble.

What to do, she had promised Song Zhenhua that she would make a lot of money.

"Mom, you must help me!" Song Jiajia pinned her hopes on Chen Jinlan.

Chen Jinlan said, "I don’t have any solution."

Chen Jinlan’s own life isn’t going well either.

"Mom, can you find me a place to stay tonight? I don’t dare go home, and I don’t want to go back to Lu Hao’s place either."

Chen Jinlan thought and thought but had no one she could turn to.

She took out her last five yuan from her pocket.

"Here, take this five yuan, find a guesthouse to stay for now. I’ll go home and get you some clothes. You’ll have to figure out a solution yourself."

Song Jiajia tightly held the five yuan, knowing it’s her last lifeline.

After taking Song Jiajia to the guesthouse, Chen Jinlan went home to pack some clothes.

...

The first thing Lu Hao did was go home.

He really couldn’t stand the smell on him anymore.

He didn’t dare lift his head the whole way, keeping it down, the shame was unbearable.

Arriving at the door, he knocked irritably.

Inside came Lu Ting’s annoyed voice, "Who is it, knocking like this!"

When Lu Ting opened the door, she saw someone looking like a beggar, and with a face full of disdain, she said, "Who are you? Go away, go away, leave."

Lu Hao lifted his head, gritting his teeth, "Lu Ting, I’m your brother."

Lu Ting looked at Lu Hao in shock, "Brother?"

Lu Ting couldn’t believe it, the beggar in front of her was indeed Lu Hao.

"Brother, how did you end up like this?"

Lu Hao didn’t respond, instead, he pushed past Lu Ting to go inside.

In the courtyard, Liu Fenglan and Lu Jianguo saw someone looking like a beggar walking into their courtyard, and immediately started cursing:

"Where did this beggar come from, get out quickly,"

Liu Fenglan picked up the broom from the ground, ready to drive him away.

Lu Hao lifted his head, "Grandma, it’s me, Lu Hao."

Liu Fenglan paused her hand with the broom, "Haozi?"

Lu Hao responded with a nod.

Liu Fenglan’s eyes widened, "Haozi. What’s happened to you? How did you end up like this?"

Lu Hao replied impatiently, "Don’t ask, quickly get me some water to bathe."

Liu Fenglan quickly said, "Alright, alright, Lu Ting, quickly get your brother some water."

Lu Ting had just closed the door, and hearing Liu Fenglan’s voice, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, "Got it."

After preparing the water for Lu Hao, he added, "I’m hungry, make me something to eat."

Liu Fenglan hurried to the kitchen, but seeing it, found nothing.

After Lu Hao left, the family ate rather casually.

She quickly pulled money from her underwear, "Xiao Ting, quickly go to the restaurant and buy some dishes for your brother."

Lu Ting looked disdainfully at the two big bills in her hand, feeling she could even smell them.

"Why are you standing still, hurry up, are you going to starve your brother!"

Under Liu Fenglan’s urging, Lu Ting pedaled her broken secondhand bicycle toward the restaurant.

She hurriedly packed the dishes and walked out of the state-run restaurant.

Only to bump into a young man head-on.

"Ouch, why don’t you watch where you’re going, knocked the breath out of me." Lu Ting said unhappily, rubbing her chest.

"Sorry, comrade, are you okay?" Wei Lai looked at Lu Ting he had bumped into, a hint of apology on his face.

Lu Ting looked up, seeing Wei Lai in front of her, she fell silent.

"Comrade, are you okay?" Wei Lai asked, seeing Lu Ting dazed.
